... a ball in the slope where your next shot is a total crap shoot,...
The problem is that even for the most agile it is a difficult climb, there is no stance,
and it is that way for the entire 600 some yards of the hole. Compare that to the 6th at St. Enodoc where for even the most agile it is a difficult climb, there is no stance, and it only occupies one missed shot on the hole instead of all three.
Furthermore, you have no wide berth to avoid the slope at Chambers, whereas at St. Enodoc you can actually maneuver around the slope, if you wish to spend the strokes.
As was written above, it is simply a connector hole.
And, it is the weakest connector hole that I know of.
